Pf. Davies et Ka. Barbee, ENDOTHELIAL-CELL SURFACE IMAGING - INSIGHTS INTO HEMODYNAMIC FORCE TRANSDUCTION, News in physiological sciences, 9, 1994, pp. 153-157
Hemodynamic forces elicit a range of endothelial cellular responses th
at regulate tone and vascular structure. Here we review some new appro
aches to live-cell real-time imaging of endothelial cell surfaces that
reveal the dynamic nature of these structures and their mutability wh
en subjected to defined flow forces.
